The Association of Inherited Cardiac Conditions (AICC) announces its Annual Conference for 2024, which will be held on 11th–12th November at the historic St Catharine’s College in Cambridge. This two-day event will feature a distinguished faculty of experts who will provide in-depth knowledge on the rapidly evolving field of Inherited Cardiovascular Conditions (ICC).
The conference will explore the latest advances in genetics, clinical practice, and patient care, delivered through a series of lectures, case-based discussions, and interactive Q&A sessions. Attendees will have the opportunity to participate in thoughtful exchanges, learn about cutting-edge research, and discuss practical strategies for enhancing patient outcomes in ICC.
Inherited Cardiovascular Conditions are an increasingly important area of medical research and practice. However, accessing specialised training in this field can be challenging, especially for UK-based trainees and healthcare professionals. The AICC Annual Conference 2024 aims to bridge this gap by focusing on key practical skills, clinical updates, and providing real-world advice for delivering optimal care.
Featured Sessions
- Polygenic Risk Scores: Applications for Clinical Practice
Learn how polygenic risk scores are transforming personalised care in ICC and how they can be applied to patient risk assessments. - Personalised Family Screening in Inherited Cardiac Conditions
This session will address tailored approaches for family screening, with insights into early detection and prevention of hereditary cardiac conditions. - Spontaneous Coronary Artery Dissection (SCAD)
Gain knowledge on SCAD, a complex and less understood condition, and how clinicians can improve its diagnosis and management.
Advancing Knowledge in Inherited Cardiac Conditions
At the 2024 AICC Annual Conference, the charity will deliver a dedicated session on the Aortic Dissection Toolkit, focusing on how it can transform the approach to this critical condition. The presentation will cover the seven key principles outlined in the toolkit, designed to improve the management of acute aortic dissection. With patients often misdiagnosed and admitted under various specialities, and regional care pathways remaining unclear, the toolkit offers practical solutions to these challenges.
By addressing both clinical and administrative needs, this session will demonstrate how the toolkit can help clinicians and healthcare commissioners ensure timely, effective care, ultimately improving patient outcomes.
About the AICC
The Association of Inherited Cardiac Conditions is dedicated to advancing clinical standards in the diagnosis, management, and treatment of ICCs. By fostering education, supporting national guidelines, and promoting access to quality care across the UK, AICC plays a crucial role in the development of equitable healthcare practices for patients with inherited cardiac conditions. Through its educational initiatives and collaborative research efforts, the AICC strives to ensure that patients and their families receive the highest standard of care, regardless of geographical location.
The AICC is committed to driving improvements in the care of patients with ICCs by promoting best practices, facilitating networks of care, and publishing national guidelines. By endorsing innovative research and educational initiatives, the AICC aims to equip the next generation of clinicians and healthcare professionals with the knowledge and skills needed to deliver exceptional care.
Whether you are a medical trainee, experienced clinician, or allied health professional, this event will offer valuable insights and practical knowledge that can be applied directly to your clinical practice.
